Upshot of industrial effluent on groundwater quality by using water quality indices

Groundwater is one of the most precious natural resource that needs to be protected from deterioration. seepage of industrial and extensive pumping has caused serious qualitative and quantitative problems in the aquifer. therefore,hydro-chemical investigation was carried out to understand the groundwater quality through the use of wqi approach in sindh industrial trading estate area,karachi,pakistan. samples were collected and analysed for major ions (cations and anions). water quality range was calculated to quantify overall groundwater quality. this study upshot of industrial effluent on groundwater quality by using water quality inexploitation of groundwater.
